Increasing the bulk of the 1TEL-target linker and retaining the 10×His tag in a 1TEL-CMG2-vWa construct improves crystal order and diffraction limits.

TELSAM-fusion crystallization has the potential to become a revolutionary tool for the facile crystallization of proteins. TELSAM fusion can increase the crystallization rate and enable crystallization at low protein concentrations, in some cases with minimal crystal contacts [Nawarathnage et al. (2022), Open Biol.

Decreasing the flexibility of the TELSAM-target protein linker and omitting the cleavable fusion tag improves crystal order and diffraction limits.

Unlabelled: TELSAM crystallization promises to become a revolutionary tool for the facile crystallization of proteins. TELSAM can increase the rate of crystallization and form crystals at low protein concentrations without direct contact between TELSAM polymers and, in some cases, with very minimal crystal contacts overall (Nawarathnage ., 2022).
